TikTok has started recruiting for its India operations, with two new job openings posted on LinkedIn for its Gurgaon office. The roles are listed as ‘Content Moderator (Bengali Speaker) – Trust and Safety’ and ‘Wellbeing Partnership and Operations Lead – Trust and Safety’.

The hiring activity comes just weeks after TikTok’s website became partially accessible to some users in India, fuelling speculation that the short-video platform could be preparing for a comeback. However, the app remains banned in India.

“The Government of India has not issued any unblocking order for TikTok. Any such statement or news is false and misleading,” according to a Hindustan Times report citing sources in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

The app remains unavailable on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store in India. TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, was one of 59 Chinese applications banned by New Delhi in June 2020, alongside UC Browser and WeChat. The ban followed the Galwan Valley clashes between Indian and Chinese troops and was justified on grounds of national security and data privacy.

Before the ban, TikTok had nearly 200 million users in India, making the country its largest overseas market. Since then, concerns about Chinese digital products and hardware have continued to shape policy debates in India and elsewhere, particularly around data security and 5G networks.
